was on his engine, which was standing

—The high price of potatoes, owing
to the drought last season, have made
that crop a widely planted one this
spring, with prospects that the coun
try will have an abundant supply this
fall at moderate prices. Other staple
crops promise as well, and are depend
ent only on average good summer
weather. The outlook for a large ex
portation is favorable. This will les
sen the cost of the chief articles of food,
now so high that labor is generally
dissatisfied with its wages. A great
deal always depends on the question,
"What will our harvest be?"
—Pritchard's case, which promised
to furnish a bone of contention be
tween Ohio and Pennsylvania, settled
itself very rapidly when the facts be
came known. The Ohio deputy who
arrested the defendant in Washington
cTty seems to have misrepresented the
case badly. Instead of having Gov.
Foster's requisition disregarded by
Pennsylvania authorities, it turns out
that he had no requisition when he
got to Altoona, the prisoner having
stolen it from him while he was asleep
aud destroyed it. Having no proof of
his authority, the Pennsylvania offi
cials very properly held the prisoner
until the officer got a duplicate requi
sition which was promptly honored.
—A terrible story is told of an Ashe
ville, N. C. p father who went oil on a

under a tree to sleep off the effects of
the debauch and while in this state the
child secured the bottle and drank
enough liquor to soon stupify her.
When the father awoke he found her
beastly drank. Iu a towering rage he
roused her up and swore that he would
kill her. Tho little thing begged pite
ously for her life saying "Pa, don't kill
me now ; I am drunk ; wait till I get
sober." The appeal was in vain and a
few blows on the head with a clubsoon
ended the child's life.

it will have fallen off to 650 again.

—Just as the Convention was
Monday afternoon, a wild
oyed individual with the appearance of
an escaped lunatic, entered tho room,
"Stop," said he to a member of the
committee "did you say that this was
an Independent Convention." "The
Independents seem to be in the majority
here, 1 ' answered the Conmiittoe man,
"Then" said the wild-eyed man, shak
ing his finger impressively, "There'll be
another Convention inside of two weeks."
And so tho llopublic.ins of the county
can expect auothor Convention to be
called "inside of two weeks."—a Cam

—The twenty-six rolling mills of
Pittsburgh, with the exception of that

mill proprietors of Pittsburgh, Wheel

Youugstowu and other places have re
fused to sign the scale of wages as de
manded by the workmen, and are now
with a lew exceptions, shut down,
Some of the steel mills are still run
ning, they employ no puddlers, and
the scale does not affect wages in
their mills. The Carnegie llro's.,
who have signed the scale own the
Union Iron Works, and also the Edgar
Thompson Works, both immense con
corns. This firm manufactures spe
cialties, such as bolts, nails, nuts,
hinges, bridge materials, etc., and have
contracts on hand that require them to
continue running. There propably is
not another city in the world where
so large a proportion of the workmon
are unmarried and where they make
such good pay as in Pittsburgh
There are sixteen blast furnaces there
owned by ten establishments, with a
capital of $4,890,000, employing 2,285
hands, and turning out SB,7'Q
products a year. There are thirty-six
establishments running rolling mills,

—Farmers who leastd heir co»

county in the years 18l>3 aud ISC4 to
Messrs. Kyle, Niblock and Breuin,
I will find it to their interest to confer
with J. C. Vanderlin, attorney at But

is a covenant in these leases to pay
I yearly rentals, so many years after a
I railroad was built on or uear the lands
; leased, one year after a demand. Fail
; ing to make these payments as stipu-
I lated for within the year was to be
considereu an abandonment of the
| lease. There are now several year's
rental due on these leases and farmers
wishing to get rid of the lease must
make a demand on the company, Mer
cer mining and manufacturing, now
owning the leases, by himself or his
attorney. The party of the 2nd part
in the lease failing to pay within the
year, is a breach of covenaut, which
taken advantage of, the Court on pro
per application will strike'off the lease.
Mr. Vanderlin has been employed bv
quite a number of the farmers to ex
amine their leases,make this demand—
and if possible have them stricken
from the record, and if there are others
who have not yet taken action in the
matter either to secure the payment
of the money due or to have their
leases given forfeited, they should

, Warming Over ibe Con rent ion
The call for the reassembling of th*
Harrisburg Convention settles nothing
It does not even settle the purpose and
policy of the party leaders who take
this method to show their conscious
ness oT the strength of a popular de
mand which their action fails to satis
fy. The people favcr a new Conven
tion I'hev want no second edition of
a Convention whose first meeting was
discredited by the methods of its elec
tion, and whose second assembly will
be challenged in the way it is conven
ed. Such a body can do nothing. Its
acts cannot strengthen bands of the
party leaders or heal the divisions of
the party. Tfie best and most that it
can do is to demand a new Convention,
and issue a call for it, and this can be
done without calling the old delegates
together.
The people want no make-sbifts of
this kind. They are anxious that Re
publican success shall not be jeopardiz
ed. They are determined that neither
the tyranny of a boss nor resistance to
it shall wrecktbe hopes or blight the
future of a party on whose success
hangs the welfare of the land. They
seek an adjustment on the sure ground
of permanent principles, and any ac
tion which does not do this will fail—
fail ignominiously. This is no mere
personal wrangle. It is a contest be
tween opposing principles of political
action and no remedy will cure party
ills unless it goes to the bottom and
builds to the top, putting power were
it belongs, not in the bauds of a ma
chine or the choice of a mahine, but
the people and the choice of the peo
ple.
A new Convention can do this.
Nothing else can. The rank and file
of the Republican party in this State
ought early to make it plfin that it is
their will to hare such a Convention
called. By mass meetings, by private
demands, by public calls, by all the
machinery through which the public
voice speaks, this should be made
clear. That once done, no State Com
mittee will dare to refuse a new Con
vention. Unless this is done, the par.
ty will drift on, divided by a widening
breach which threatens defeat. To
prevent this should be the first duty of
Kepublicans of principle, and Chair
man Cooper's call is a step away from
this plain duty, not towards it.—rhil
adelph ia Press.
To I lie Voter* of Butler County.
With feelings of devout gratitude to
God and a kindly recognition of the
services of manj workers, male and
female, we announce a great advance
of public sentiment for Prohibition ;
and realizing the deep responsibility
devolving upon the Prohibition Reform
Party, and that the eyes of the people
are fixed upon it as the only political
organization which seriously opposes
the liquor traflc, we, therefore, issue
this call to the Prohibitionists of Butler
county and the several townships,
boroughs and voting precincts thereof,
and asking them to convene by dele
gates, or in person, in convention, in
the Academy building in West Sun
burry, on Tuesday, June 20tb, at one
o'clock, P. M., to nominate one person
for Congress, 26th district; two persons
for Assembly, and one for Jury Com
missioner. Candidates to be pledged
to support the principles of the party,
as adopted by the State Convention at
Altooua, 22nd and 23rd of February
last. Let it be distinctly understood
that Political Prohibitionists most
heartily welcome to their ranks all
who earnestly desire the overthrow of
the rum traffic and desire reform in
Governmental service. And we believe
this spirit will actuate a majority of
those who shall assemble under this
call. We cordially invite all ladies
and gentlemen to attend this conven
tion and to aid in circulating this noticej
We suggest the propriety of each
voting precinct electing delegates on
Saturday, the ltth of June, previous
to day of convention. Mr. Daniel
Swoger, State Secretary of Prohibition
Reform Party, will be present and ad
dress a mass convention in the evening,

The Nation,
Since its consolidation with the New ork
Evening Font, has increased its facilities iu
every department, enlarged its size to twenty
four pages, and added many able writers to its
previous list. It is now pronounced by many
of its readers to be better than ever before.
Established in 18 '5, the Nation was apioneer
in this country as a weekly journal of literary
and political criticism of the highest order, con
ducted free from the control of party or inter
est of any sort. Despite a precarious support
during the first few years, it held persistently
to its original aim until its financial success
was assured. Meanwhile it had become a rec
ognized authority at home and abroad; its edi
torial management has been unchanged from
the first, and its projectors intend that, with
their present facilities, the Nation shall be 'ome
more than ever before the medium of the ablest
thought of the time.
The form and style of the paper are chosen
with a view to the most suitable shajie for
binding, and a set of the Nation preserved,
bound, and indexed, makes the most complete
and readable record of current events of impor
tance in the political and literary world avail
able for the American public,
The subscription price has been
deduced to $3 per Annum.
